Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 50 Recent
technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthr oughs in
satellite technology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of
divers and diving equipment for scientists doing research on the great oceans of the
world. Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and their mental

concentration was severely limited. Because underea pressure affects their speech organs,
communication among divers has always been difficult or impossible. But today, most
oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the risk to
human life and make direct obervations by means of instruments that are lowered into the
ocean, from samples take from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting
satellites. Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also
by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated
aerial photgraphy from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and
cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In addition, radio -equipped buoys can be
operated by remote control in order to transmit information back to land-based
laboratories via satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are data about water
temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution o f sea
ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean, Maps created from satellite pictures
can represent the temperature and the color of the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to
study the ocean currents from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help
oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze data from submarines and satellites. By
creating a model of the ocean’s movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the
patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the enviroment.
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and
computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a
greater range of information more quickly and more effectively. Some of humankind’s
most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and food, may be solved with
the help of observations made possible by this new technology.

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are
just as important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so
intimately related?
Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your
emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The
color that you choose to wear either refects your current state of being, or reflects the
color or emotion that you need.
The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around
you. Of course thay also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the
one saturated with the color all day ! I even choose items around me based on their colo r.
In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day.
So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which
can help you to feel better.
Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in
motion; they are meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the
